What this means for you

Illness, injury, or structural failure has been reported. Stop using the product immediately and contact the manufacturer for a refund or repair.

Our severity reasoning: The recall involves a structural vehicle defect (steering linkage) that can cause a complete loss of steering, meeting the criteria for a Severe rating due to significant injury risk.

Plain-English summary

Crane Carrier Company is recalling certain 2015-2016 LET2 vehicles equipped with specific Dana Spicer D-Series and E-Series steer axles. The recall addresses a defect where the castellated nut on the steer axles may not be properly torqued, which allows the tie rod to loosen.

If the tie rod loosens, it may disconnect from the steering knuckle. This failure could result in a complete loss of steering, significantly increasing the risk of a crash.

The recall began on September 27, 2017. Dealers will inspect the torque of the castellated nut and tie rod and tighten them as necessary at no cost to the owner. Owners may contact Crane Carrier customer service at 1-918-286-2300 or the NHTSA Vehicle Safety Hotline at 1-888-327-4236.
